Free Talk Live

What’s on your mind? Unlike those right-wing or left-liberal extremist shows, Free Talk Live is libertarian talk radio that ANYONE can take control of. Yes, even you. Free Talk Live is the next generation of issues-oriented talk. What is the meaning of freedom? This show is about Liberty with a capital L.

No studio this week, but plenty to talk about. Sal checks in from lunch in Florida on his way to Prague, where he’s speaking at Dark Prague on agorism and crypto anarchy.

First up, the hard news: Zano and Freedom Dollar were hit by an inflation bug exploit, and the fix meant rolling the chain back 30 days. Sal doesn’t sugarcoat it. He explains why the rollback will cost trust with cypherpunks who value immutability, why some investors may actually see it as a plus, and why Zano’s core value of private tokenizable assets isn’t going anywhere. Freedom Dollar has held its peg thanks to heavy over-collateralization, and several privacy projects, including Firo and Quai, reached out to help.

Sal also breaks down why NEAR flagging a transaction tied to the Bitget hack should concern anyone who values permissionless money, and why he points to THORChain as the alternative.

Then a preview of his Prague talk, “Agorism and the Quantum Leap,” built around three tools for going dark: privacy coins paired with non-KYC debit cards, 3D printing as a way around prohibition, and confidential assets that let you wrap coins like Bitcoin into Zano’s privacy layer. Plus a short clip from Cypherpunk Week in Amsterdam, where Sal asked some of the biggest names in crypto and liberty what one tool they use to live free.

In the second half, Mark Edge is joined by Jody Underwood of Education Options (EdOpt) to talk school choice in New Hampshire. They cover tuition-free charter schools, Education Freedom Accounts, runaway school spending, and why the families who could benefit most are often the hardest to reach.
